After an applause laden reaction to his first monologue he quipped Let's see how you feel in 30 years.
Today I'm going to take him up on that offer.
Recently Jay started hosting a remake of You Bet Your Life, the classic 1950's game show hosted by Groucho Marx. I have not watched the show but if the majority of the first page of reviews at it's imdb page are to be believed it is not his finest work.
Leno was the 4th and 6th host of the tonight show replacing Johnny Carson in 1992. Carson took over the show from Jack Paar in 1962. The 30 year remark was an homage to Carson's longevity. Leno was not Carson's pick to replace him. He wanted fellow Midwesterner David Letterman who had the time slot after him to have that honor. Leno had been a substitute host for Carson on Tonight for over 5 years before replacing him.
